Description
This 2015 Bulang Gushu ripe Pu-erh comes in 357g cakes, made from Bulang old-growth (Gushu) material. Six years of careful ageing have allowed the cake to meld beautifully, resulting in a tea that is both smooth and subtly complex.
The aroma off the rinse is deeply sweet, with underlying fruity notes that emerge as the infusion develops. Early steeps reveal a clean, smooth liquor with robust structure, while the taste offers sparks of sweetness across the palate from the first cup.
The leaf composition suggests a blend of more mature, thicker leaves with fewer tips, giving the tea its characteristic deep, strong profile. The cha qi rises gradually rather than suddenly, offering a measured, enjoyable energy that is both calming and engaging.
Bulang character is evident in the cup: forceful yet grounded, with a lightly stony and deeply relaxing sensation. This cake is ideal for those who appreciate a structured, confident ripe Pu-erh that rewards repeated infusions and careful brewing.
